Labor Day weekend

This past holiday weekend we took a trip down to my parents house in Schulenburg, TX since Emily had Monday off. Richard and I helped my Dad and brother Tony help build the walls on the house. WHAT A SLOW PROCESS!!! UGH! We were so frustrated. But, we managed to get a few walls up. More than what my Dad would have been able to do by himself. The last photo is of the front of their house. It's all metal. We plan on going back down in October to help out some more. Sunday night my parents wanted to take the kids to the fair in La Grange. You always feel so much better about yourself when you go to one of those things. GROSS!!! The kids enjoyed themselves and that's all that matters. They rode some rides and played some games. They even went into a petting zoo that had several different animals. They ranged from a camel to baby deer, goats, rabbits, baby pigs, baby cows and even chickens. YEE HAW!!! The weekend went pretty well except when Ryan decided to lock himself in the bathroom at Uncle Rodney's cabin. It's one of those locks that u can't unlock from the outside. Normally you have a little key or you can use something to unlock it. NOPE, not the case. My Uncle tried to bust the door down and that didn't work. Richard asked Ryan to turn the knob on the door and guess what?? HE LISTENED and came out. UGH, that was so gut wrenching. He was screaming and bawling his little eyes out. It was so sad. Ryan decided to get into Grandpa's truck and lock the doors on that with the keys inside!! I swear this kid is a terror. Thank goodness Emily was in the truck and pushed the unlock button. UGH!! Other than that, we had a good time seeing family and playing in the outdoors. It's a quiet town which we call Hillbilly Hell.
